The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"So, go ahead, Origami. Just do what you want to do. Go and take a different path from me. I believe in you, and your companions will believe in you too. Don't let them wait too long."

"Ah."

After a long time, Origami once again grasped the Thunder Sword Huang Lei. 】

188: The Emotional Dragon Reappears

[Following Mana's guidance, Shiori came to the edge of the city that was previously destroyed by the Holy Lord of Truth. On a small mound, a girl with blonde hair and red eyes was silently flipping through the novel in her hands.

Because Shiori still did not cover up the sound of his footsteps this time, Mayuri, who was experienced in combat, quickly noticed the other party's presence.

Closing the novel that she had read more than once, Mayuri looked up at the Book of the End in the sky that was sucking the ruins into it.

"Don't you think this is a beautiful sight?"

A tone without any ups and downs sounded, and Mayuri asked the question without turning back to look at Shiori.

"Everything will slowly fade into nothingness, and the world will no longer be filled with filth..."

"If you really thought so, why didn't you help the Lord of Truth defeat us then?"

Shiori heard from Kurumi and Allen that Mayuri had also attacked the Lord of Truth.

"because……"

Mayuri was a little stuck. To be honest, ever since being released by the Lord of Truth, even she herself felt that her behavior was strange. If it were her in the past, she would have ignored what the Lord of Truth did. After all, the worst consequences should be the same.

"It's just because that guy annoys me."

In the end, she found a plausible excuse for herself, but this only led to Shiori's further pursuit.

"In other words, you realized that what the Lord of Truth did was wrong, and you subconsciously felt that correcting his actions was more important than destroying the world, right?"

"Nonsense."

Mayuri stood up and placed the novel in her hand on a relatively clean rag.

"The world must return to nothingness. This is my mission as I was born with the nameless sword, Nothingness. That's enough. Chatting with you is really meaningless. Transform."

"Eternal Phoenix!"

"I understand. Let's communicate with swords. I will get the answer from your sword myself. Transform."

"Elements overflowing! Bonds strengthened!"

The two swords, also wrapped in flames, intertwined with each other, and the dragon and phoenix swordsmen slashed with all their strength.

Without using any fancy special abilities, this battle became a competition of will and swordsmanship.

Very heavy.

Every blow that Mayuri swung with the sword was extremely heavy, and Shiori needed to grit his teeth and hold the blade tightly in his hand at all times, otherwise the Flame Sword Rehuo would slip out of his hand in the next second.

The heaviness is not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of will, which carries an unimaginable quality.

The emotions nurtured over a thousand years were transmitted through the resonance of the two holy swords.

The shock of seeing humans killing each other;

The resentment of trying to stop it but failing;

the despair of being betrayed by the people she protected;

And that glimmer of hope that exists amidst the overwhelming emotions.

"bass!"

The nameless sword Void created sparks on Elemental Shilong's breastplate when Shizhi was stunned for a moment, and pushed Shizhi back.

"You can't stop the destruction of the world, just like humans can't eliminate their own bad nature."

"Do not."

Shiori shook her head, and the "Dragon of Courage" on her side emitted light, and a brand new fantasy driving book appeared in her hand. No, this book had appeared once with the help of the Book of Destruction, but now it was awakened by Shiori with her own will.

“Humans may not be able to change their bad natures now, but they are not stagnant forever. The heart that cares for their fellows, the desire to obtain happiness, and the efforts to fight for it, these emotions drive people to keep moving forward. One day, mankind will complete its own salvation.”

"Stop talking nonsense! How could my thousand-year obsession be overturned by your bland words? If you have the guts, prove to me what you mean by human emotions!"

"no problem."

Shiori nodded and showed Mayuri the "Dragon of Emotion" in his hand.

"I have sensed what I want to know from your sword. Now it is your turn. Please bear witness!"

"Emotional Dragon! Courage! Love! Glory! The beast with the triple power is about to appear!"

"Transform!"

Giant dragons in red, white and black rose into the sky, circling around Shiori, and a sacred chant was heard.

"Draw the sword with blazing fire! Dragon of emotion~! Dragon of love! Dragon of courage! Dragon of glory! Dragon of emotion! Divine beasts merge! Emotions overflow!"]

Chaos Evil Gudako: It feels like Mayuri is going to be beaten up by the "Dragon of Emotion" again. What kind of special attack is this against Mayuri?

Supreme Masterpiece: Was the guy from Nothingness defeated by emotions? If I could really understand what emotions are, I would like to experience the attack of this form myself.

EMT: Great! Now all 11 holy swords will be complete!

[Shiori, wearing red, white and black dragon armor, rushed towards Mayuri. The flames of the flaming sword in his hand were ignited by the power of the dragon of emotion. At this moment, the 3 swordsmen in the world seemed to sense something, and the holy swords in their hands trembled and flashed with light of corresponding colors. They couldn't help but rush towards Shiori.

Somehow, they had a feeling that something was about to awaken there.

Mayuri was distracted for a moment by this phenomenon, and when she came to her senses, Shiori's flaming sword had already slashed through her body.

Along with the pain comes a severe emotional impact.

The positive emotions of countless people flooded into her mind, even suppressing her body that could regenerate infinitely.

The swordsmen's desire to protect the world, the desire of people to pursue beauty, even the kindness shown inadvertently...

These emotions turned into a raging fire that melted the ice in Mayuri's heart, forcing her to cancel her transformation and kneel on one knee.

“Is this the power of human emotion?”

Emotions resonate with each other, and at that moment, Mayuri remembered the days when she fought together with her past companions including Mana.

Since when did despair become the only thing left in my heart?

Mayuri looked at Shiori, who had also released his transformation, and finally laughed.

"Oh, okay, I'll trust you just this once."

Inserting the nameless sword into the ground, Mayuri's body began to ignite and entered the sword little by little.

"I will bear witness to it carefully. I hope you won't let me down. By the way, the novel is pretty good..."

In the end, the first generation Swordsman of Nothingness only left these words and completely disappeared from Shiori's sight.

"Shiori! Did you succeed?"

When Mana and other swordsmen arrived, they saw the nameless sword lying on the ground. Mana sighed. In the end, Mayuri did not choose to fight alongside everyone, but just entrusted the holy sword to them.

But just when everyone was immersed in joy, a huge crack appeared in the empty sky.

As if he felt the fluctuations of the Flame Sword's flames in the sealed space, the man actually followed the direction of this power and forcibly broke through the seal ahead of time.

A huge spiral sword descended from the sky and slashed towards Shiori on the ground. 】

189: Ignite the Holy Sword

The devil is sneering.

Looking at the war spreading before her eyes, these words appeared involuntarily in Murasame Reine's mind.

Even the combined efforts of nine swordsmen and several elves were unable to defeat Westcott who had transformed into Solomon. The huge spiral sword phantom tore through the capture net woven by wind and thunder. The black and red energy shattered the defense formed by the three elements of ice, sound, and earth. The pincer attack from light and darkness could not make the opponent retreat a single step. Even the power of nothingness still posed no threat to it.

The battle started very hastily, but it is about to come to an end.

"Anthology loading! Solomon smash!"

A swarm of black and red meteors streaked through the air, heading towards the vital points of every swordsman and elf.

"The ultimate move is overflowing! Combined attack of elements!"

There was no time to think, and the moment Westcott launched his ultimate move, Shiori almost followed closely.

Fire, water, wind, thunder, earth and sound, six elements burst out from Shiori's body and turned into a rainbow net that blocked all the fallen knights.

An explosion occurs.

Exhausting all his strength, Shiori blocked the attack, inserted the flaming sword Rehuo into the ground, and knelt on one knee.

"Whoosh..."

She was running out of energy and could only feel her muscles groaning. However, her enemy, a man named Westcott, still walked towards her leisurely, with the spiral sword in his hand leaving a long trail on the ground.

"You are so weak! You are even weaker than Gokawa Shiori in the video."

Not in a hurry to end the fight, Westcott stood in front of Shiori with interest and began to comment on Shiori's performance.

"If it's the Itsuka Shiori in the video, he still won't be a match for me, but he should at least be able to touch my body and leave some scratches on this armor."

"Heh, the reason you laugh at me is because you got the power for free from Stellius-kun?"

Shiori was unmoved by Westcott's words, who was completely addicted to power, and instead mocked him back.

"That's just me using Stellius."

Under the mask, Westcott frowned. Shiori's precise stepping on the landmine made his originally high spirits become a little unhappy.

Having lost interest in continuing the conversation, Westcott raised the spiral sword high, intending to chop off Shiori's head in front of everyone and watch everyone's sad and stunned expressions.

When Murasame Reion in the command room was about to run out, a cloud of smoke came and took away Shiori on the ground at the critical moment, and condensed into two bodies in a farther place.

"Miss Allen, you are here?"

"...Yes, I am here."

Allen was slightly stunned by Shiori's somewhat happy voice. She was originally prepared to participate in the battle even if she was scolded, but she did not expect to be welcomed by Shiori.

Not only that, she could also feel the kind gazes of other elves, which made her, who had always been hostile to the elves, feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Ahem, let's put these things aside for now. Gokawa Shiori, to fight against Ike's "Almighty Power", you must ignite the holy sword."
